About this title

Synopsis

Mediaeval Popes, Emperors, Kings, And Crusaders, Or, Germany, Italy, And Palestine, From A.D. 25 To A.D. 268 by William Busk offers a sweeping study of imperial and papal power in the high medieval world, with a dense focus on the mid-12th century. The narrative traces Frederic I Barbarossa’s early reign as he seeks to reassert imperial rights in Germany and Lombardy, while contending with Lombard cities, noble rivals, and evolving papal politics. It maps internal feudal feuds, dynastic diplomacy, and the contest between imperial authority and papal sovereignty, against a backdrop of Diets, sieges, and urban transformation that see the rise of free imperial cities and shifting municipal power. Key actors include Henry the Lion, Conrad III, and reformers and opponents such as Bernard of Clairvaux and Arnold of Brescia, alongside the papacy under Eugenius III and Adrian IV. The work also traces cross?border diplomacy, marriage alliances (e.g., Beatrice of Burgundy), and the broader negotiations at Besan�on, outlining how imperial power seeks to project control into Italy while negotiating Rome’s autonomy.
